General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Here in Aus. (if I may mention that part of the world!) we have had no smoking in restaurants for a couple of years now and we had the same thing. Businesses up in arms - 'we will loose all our customers', 'we will go broke'. Guess what? All still there and got the non-smokers as customers who can now go out for a meal and taste their food instead of cigarette smoke. Long live the smoking ban in public places.
